Classes and Workshops

• Intermediate Oil Painting:
Edina Art Center, 6 Tuesday evenings,
6 to 8:30pm. Starting April 16 to May 21. Contact; Edina Parks and Recreation

Studio: If you've painted in oils for years or have some experience with the medium, there's always a lot to learn. Continue to explore color mixing as you paint subjects of your choice. I will work with you on design, brushwork, and understanding color as value. You will practice drawing with the brush and explore different ways to create paintings that you can be proud of. Work with water soluble oil colors if you wish.

• Advancing in Oil Painting: Minnetonka Center for the Arts, 8 Thursday afternoons, 1 to 4pm. Starting April 25 to June 13. Contact; Minnetonka Center for the Arts 

Studio: Continue your exploration of painting with new challenges designed to improve your ability to capture and interpret your subject. We'll build on basic techniques and develop new skills while painting a variety of subjects, working from a variety of source materials - including how to select and interpret photographic references. Bring your own painting supplies, or see the materials list on the website. Oils (or water solubles) preferred, but acrylic painters with some experience will find this class useful too.

• 3 Summer Plein Air Workshops:
4 sessions each. One morning and one
afternoon sessions. Varied locations around the metro. Times TBD. Be prepared for early morning starts and later finishing in the day. The best light is at the front and back ends. In the summer the middle hours can be pretty flat. $240

Yes, it’s challenging but that’s what makes it worth it. Learn how to see, learn how to design, learn how to mix color, and learn how to simplify, learn how to edit and work quickly. So much to chew on but so much learn! YouTube is flooded with plein air and avail yourself of whatever works for you, but let’s get together, get a brush in your hand and get better as a painter.

Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19
Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30
Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25
